How can you wash a water bottle so itgets really clean?

I thought of giving Nepo cilantro earlier today. I also want to try garlic .

A bottle brush will do the job. They sell them at the petstores or you can pick one up in the housewares section of almost anymarket. And a pipecleaner works well for the tube.

Hi *nepo*

Some folks will use a tsp. or Tbsp. of bleach to a gallon of water andthen scrub it out really well with the brushes. (With that in mind, seethe recent article about Bleach in Danielle's new article on theJan/Feb 2005 Rabbits Only Magazine just so that you're aware ofall the aspects of using bleach before you make the decision. Other'shave used vinegar.

Fill your Nepo's bottle with fresh water every day and wash it out regularly with the brushes to prevent algae from building up.

Bottles that are regularly exposed to sunlight will developed algae very quickly.

Soap, water, bottle brush. I once saw abrush, but didn't buy it...darn, that swiveled once inside so that onecould scrub the top "shoulders" of the bottle easily. Thebottle brush I currently use doesn't do an adequate job of that, as faras I am concerned.

A couple of drops of bleach in a full bottle of water and left to standan hour or two will eliminate any mold or algae within the entirebottle, as well as disinfect it.

Just rinse well afterward and as good as new! Be aware somebottles are made to be used outside in direct exposure to sunlight,others are not and, therefore, should not be used in that manner.

That's funny, blueyes because I had gotten two air purifiers because ofthe air my rabbits were breathing -- forget about me, it's all aboutthem. It's helped Tucker's allergies tremendously.
